The complete amino acid sequence of [2Fe-2S] ferredoxin from Datura arborea, "Tree Datura", has been determined by automated Edman degradation of the entire Cm-protein and of the peptides obtained by tryptic digestion and CNBr treatment. The D. arborea ferredoxin exhibited three and four differences, respectively, in the amino acid sequences when compared with the ferredoxins of D. stramonium and D. metel (herbaceous species). This result supports the idea of Bernhardi and Safford that 'Tree Datura' such as D. arborea should be considered as one section of the genus Datura and not a separate genus.
